Job description

Finkraft.ai is an AI + fintech company solving real enterprise finance problems — GST/VAT recovery, travel‑invoice reconciliation, compliance, and AI‑led financial workflows — for clients and partners including BCG, Bain & Company, Coca‑Cola, Tata Group, World Bank, Abbott, Kohler and Qatar Airways.

This is a Founder's Office seat for sharp, AI‑native generalists. You join through a short, paid work‑trial, take on a real high‑stakes mission alongside the founders, and are judged on what you actually do — not your past title or CTC. The standout performer becomes Chief of Staff; everyone who clears the bar is mapped to a Founder's Office role in Product, Engineering, Sales, Finance, or Account Management.

Two ways to be great

• Analysis — read a problem precisely, structure the mess, weigh options, and use AI (especially Claude) to turn ambiguity into clean, decision‑ready answers.
• Coordination — reach people, build momentum, follow through, and bring energy to every room and call.

Your first mission.

Finkraft is scaling, and the bottleneck is people. You'll help the Founder's Office find and engage the exceptional people who'll build our next chapter — mapping the market for live roles, reaching out to standout people, reading genuine interest, and driving openings forward. It's the cleanest test of Analysis and Coordination we know — the test environment, not your destination.

How we play fair.

The sprint is paid, scope is clear before you start, and you're evaluating us too. Bring your own laptop. If you're currently employed, take part only within your contract.
